Lot Essay

Joseph Scheuerle was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1873 before settling in the United States with his family in 1882. He attended the Cincinnati Art Academy in Ohio in the 1890s, where he befriended fellow artists Henry Farny and Joseph Henry Sharp, among others. Scheuerle made his first trip West in the first decade of the 20th century, focusing on depictions of Plains Indians and finding a passion in engaging with the Native communities. His last trip West took place in 1938, with his many travels culminating in about 260 watercolor and gouache portraits of Native American subjects, such as the present examples.
